JPS5844490Y2 - Socket support device for fluorescent light fixtures - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a device for supporting a socket of a fluorescent light fixture, which comprises a fixture body having a pair of side walls that are both open at the top and bottom.

Sockets used in fluorescent light fixtures are usually installed in the body of the fixture.

However, in the past, a socket stand was prepared to install the socket, and this was fixed to the device body using screws, cut-and-raised pieces, cut-and-raised claws, or the like.

However, this method has the inconvenience of having to manufacture the socket stand separately, and also requires work to fix it to the device body.

The object of this invention is to easily construct a pedestal part for supporting a socket in a device main body having a pair of side walls whose upper and lower surfaces are both open.

To explain the embodiment of this invention with the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a device main body, which has opposing side walls 2 and 3 whose top and bottom surfaces are both open, and the ends of these walls are integrally connected by a pedestal 4. It is bridged by

On both sides of the pedestal part 4, side edge parts 5 formed by bending the lower ends of the side walls 2 and 3 are integrally connected.

In the configuration shown, the lower portions of the side walls 2 and 3 extend downward from the pedestal portion 4 to form lower wall portions 6 and 7, and the lower ends thereof are bent inward to form bent edges 8 and 9.

This is used as a support leg when installing the instrument body on an instrument frame or the like.

Reference numeral 10 indicates a socket, and grooves 11 and 12 are formed in the lower part of the circumferential side and the back surface of the socket.

To install the socket 10 in the appliance body 1, use the socket)
Insert the lower part of 10 between both side walls 2 and 3, and then insert the lower part of groove 1
1 into the side edge portion 5.

At this time, when this fitting is further advanced, the groove 12 comes to fit into the pedestal part 4.

By fitting the side edge portion 5 and the pedestal portion 4 into the respective grooves 11 and 12 in this manner, installation of the socket 10 into the instrument body 1 is completed.

FIG. 3 shows a punched-out diagram of the main body of the device, in which windows 14 are punched out at both ends of the material 13, cut along a line connecting the windows 14, and both peripheral edges of the window are folded along the line. By bending, it is possible to obtain a device body having a shape in which the top and bottom surfaces are open, and the device body is configured with side walls facing each other, with only the outer ends being bridged using the outer peripheral edge of the window as a bridging piece. It turns out.

As detailed above, according to this invention, the pedestal part and side edge part for supporting the socket are integrally formed in the device body, so there is no need to manufacture the socket stand separately from the device body as in the past. This eliminates the need for fixing the socket base to the appliance body, and also makes it extremely easy to attach the socket to the appliance body.Furthermore, it requires no punching for the appliance body, which consists of side walls with open top and bottom surfaces. By only bending after cutting, the bridging piece bridging both side walls can also be used as a pedestal part for supporting the socket, which has the effect of simplifying the structure.

Note that a device main body having side walls with open upper and lower surfaces is suitable for use in a device for guiding light from a fluorescent lamp to the upper and lower surfaces, that is, a guide light device.
